🇺🇦 Participants in the Among Your Own project held a family day in Dnipro, took part in sports activities and focused on post-traumatic growth 🧡
An event for the defenders of Mariupol and their families was held in Dnipro as part of the Among Your Own project. Around 30 participants had the opportunity to take part in sports activities and spend time together.
The programme included football challenges, such as team relay races, as well as activities involving both children and adults. Everyone received gifts at the end of the competitions.
A separate part of the programme focused on post-traumatic growth. An important lecture covered working with combat experience, the peer-to-peer principle, and ways of reframing past experiences as a resource for further adaptation and development.
Among Your Own has been run by Shakhtar Social together with Rinat Akhmetov’s Heart of Azovstal project for the third consecutive year. Over this time, it has brought together a community of Mariupol defenders and their families, for whom regular meetings have provided an opportunity to stay connected, socialise, take part in sports and family activities, and remain close to people with similar experiences.
